I spent a lot of last week working on more paintings and a lot of collage pieces <3 I had a handful of wooden plaques I had just needed to paste
Speaking of collages, I’ve also made a lot of progress on my junk journal <3 It’s been a few months, so I think I’ll update the pictures sometime this week or next.
Also, after about a day and a half of rain, the weather has already started to plateau- it’s actually very nice outside. I’ve been taking long walks most days and am hoping to be able to bring the hula hooping I do inside, outside. It’s risky business practicing to walk and hula hoop simultaneously in the apartment.
I feel like walking for a while every day has really inspired me. The smallest things remind me of my appreciation for creating. At this point, I just want to indulge every inspiration I feel taken with. I wish I had the time. There is beauty everywhere.

⭑ ☆ this week's projects: more collage pieces & wooden wall art ☆ ⭑
This upcoming week I’m going to wrap up some of the remaining projects from last week’s pile. Most of them planned and just need pasting.
I also didn’t get a chance to work much on the wooden cat decal. Instead of wood stain to darken the finish, I used heavily diluted black watercolor paint. It took a bit to dry, but I think I like the stained appearance it gives. The grooves and lines in the wood are visible and look kind of natural, which is what I was hoping for. I think my next step would be to carve the cat design, then darken it’s outline. I bought a second identical plaque to the current one because I considered attempting wood burning for the first time for this project. Not like I need another medium to find time to work on in my schedule, but I have been wanting to try it and it looks fun. Maybe it’d be worth it.? We'll finish this first cat and cross that bridge when we get there,
I've really liked sharing my progress, even in small increments, on this page. Not like I'm being held to a super high standard or anything, but I do feel the need to stay consistent and work on projects with more of a purpose. I could drag my feet on a piece forever. Thank you for giving me a place to be inspired and a little productive.
Thanks for stopping by
